This
covered walkway is along the harbor. It is a great place to sit out and watch
the action, listen to street musicians, etc.

This
is the Old State House full of history. It was built in 1713 and is now a
museum.

Behind
this fountain in the Boston Public Garden is the new State House which is in use today.

This
photo was taken from the Garden. This is where super rich Bostonians live (the
Beacon Hill neighborhood). A few of the former residents of that neighborhood
include Louisa May Alcott, Robert Frost, and Senator John Kerry. The water
gushing off to the side is from a water park in the Garden for the kids to play
in!

I
just love the architecture of the brownstones. Many date back to the 1800s.

This
skyscraper is the John Hancock Tower that was completed in 1976. It is the
tallest building in Boston so it is a very prominent part of the skyline.

I
love the windows on this structure that look like portals on a cruise ship!

This
temple is beautiful. It looks out of place but that makes it even more
interesting to look at!

What
is a city without pigeons? Yup, they are
everywhere.

Enjoy
your weekend! We are expecting rain but that is ok because Jim and I are
celebrating our 2 year anniversary! Our first date was October 2, 2010. It has
been a wonderful 2 years and we will be happy just staying in watching movies,
cooking, enjoying wine and great conversation.Dates do not get better than that. I couldn't ask for a better man!!!J ~Val

Hi Val,Humm I'm with you on the naming part. The eye glasses holder is very pretty. I almost went to Boston when I was in MA a few years ago, but went to Plymoth instead. I enjoy looking at the pictures of you and Jim's outings. Have a wonderful anniversary this weekend.Therese

Ha! snowflakes in these stones - too funny. I have some of this stone is a large flat shape and it does look like it. But the rounds must not show up as much. Lovely walk through Boston. I also like when I see old, out of place buildings in amongst the skyscrapers ... looks strange, but with a story to tell.

I have not been to Boston in years, It's nice to see photos of it again. I love all the old buildings and architecture. Your eyeglass chain with the obsidian beads is very cool.ValerieEveryday Inspired

Happy 2 years!! So happy for the both of you! The weather is beautiful and cool here! We are celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving tomorrow. Just to let you know Val, some of my snowflake obsidian have snowflakes on them ;o) Maybe I will try to take a picture for you ;o) Love your Boston photos ;o) Take Care ;o)

Hi Val, I often wonder the same thing with paint colors, lol. The names often crack me up. Your chain is pretty....I can see the snow falling now or not. :)

I love Boston, I used to live there and have many wonderful memories. Boston is where I met Chris as well, which will always be the most important meeting of my life. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures of the city.
